INFORMATION & RULES for
BARNS & STALLS ———-CONTESTANT HOUSING———-TRAILERING
1.BARN/STALL ASSIGNMENT POLICY: Stalls/corrals at Mule Days are reserved on a seniority basis if the following rules are met.
Reservations may be submitted ONLY for your equines or those that you train & must be submitted on or before March 5, 2020 with a completed
Stall/Corral Reservation Form. Payment must be included (check or valid credit card info.) for requests to be considered. Stalls held in your name
and not used must be turned into the Show Secretary for reassignment. A one-year allowance may be made for illness, etc. at the discretion of the
Mule Days Show Manager if requested in writing. All equine housing requests will be filled in the order they are received, so submit your housing
request as close to March 5 as possible. Housing will be reserved for competing equines first. After April 15th, remaining stalls/corrals will be
opened up to Parade equines &/or other equine housing requests. Failure to comply with this policy will result in loss of seniority. We reserve the
right to assign corrals as best fits the needs of the Event. All effort will be made to isolate Jacks.
2.Stalling Together/Multiple Reservation Forms: Entries for exhibitors wishing to be housed together must be received in one envelope. If a
trainer has customers wanting to stall together, they must be received in one envelope. Multiple checks, credit cards, etc. will be accepted as
payment for housing fees, but payment MUST be included with the reservation forms.
3.Tack Stalls: Box stalls are limited and priority will be given to housing of equines, however, Tack Stalls may be requested for contestants/trainers
bringing a minimum of three competing equines. They must be requested using the Equine Housing Reservation Form at a cost of $225 each
Payment must be included with the Reservation Form.
4.Equine Housing: Stalls, shaded and unshaded corrals on the MULE DAYS grounds are rented primarily to competing mules & donkeys. All stalls &
corrals are rented for the period of 1:00p.m. on Sunday, May 17, 2020 through 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 26. If housing is needed before this
time, you must request such to the Show Office prior to arrival. Early arrivals will be charged $50/per corral. The fee must be paid through the
Show Office and packets will not be provided to entrants until early arrival fee has been paid.
5. Stall and Corral Reservation: Each stall/corral request must be made using the Stall/Corral Reservation Form herein & must include payment
(blank check or credit card info). Non-competing equines may reserve housing at any time with the understanding that it could be rescinded after
the April 15 soft entry deadline if needed for competing equines. Mule Days will refund any prepaid housing fees for rescinded reservations.
6. Stall/Corral Fees: Pricing for stalls & corrals for 2020 is: wooden box stall $180, shaded & semi-shaded corrals $170, “Cattle Pens” $175,
unshaded corral in grass area $140, shaded corrals in CAC area $150. Packer corrals fees vary on size and location. See Show Secretary for details.
7. Feed & Bedding: The stall/corral fees includes alfalfa/grass hay and 3 bales of shavings per stall/corral (excluding grassy area corrals). The use of
shavings on the grass is discouraged. Additional shavings can be purchased at the Show Office . DO NOT USE HAY FOR BEDDING.
8. Animal Care: Bring a hose and bucket for watering your animals. Plan for both hot & cold temperatures. Do not string rope across stalls/corrals.
You may not leave your animals in your stock trailer. Animals may not be tied to the outside of the corrals or be hobbled in the barn/corral areas.
Insurance mandates that all equines must remain in their stalls or corrals except when being worked for practice, being groomed and cared for or
when showing and participating.
9. Animal Health & Safety: Mule Days requires the proper care, handling and treatment of animals while at Mule Days . Owners are responsible for
their animals and keeping them under control. All equines and livestock that enter the grounds are subject to examination by Mule Days officials/
designated representative and/or state officials for determination of possible infection or inhumane treatment. Officials may examine for
determination whether such animals are, have been infected/exposed or are likely to be infected with an infectious or contagious disease. If after
examination, officials have reason to believe that an animal’s health condition places other animals at risk, such officials at their own discretion,
may quarantine such animals or, if appropriate, require that such animals be transported off the grounds. Intentional or negligent treatment of any
animal deemed by a MULE DAYS Official to be inhumane or abusive may require that person to be removed from the grounds for a time period
determined by the Executive Committee including but not limited to a permanent ban from all future MULE DAYS events.
10. Stock Trailer Parking: A limited number of parking spaces exist close to the barn area for horse trailers. They are intended for contestants who
“tack up” from their trailer. They must be requested on your entry forms at a cost of $30 per space and must include trailer length. These spaces
will be assigned by the Show Office. Trailers must fit and be parked between the lines of your specific space. Parking Vehicles In The Stock Trailer
Parking Area Is Not Allowed. SLEEPING IN STOCK TRAILERS IS NOT ALLOWED. Equines are allowed in the Contestant RV Lots (C & D) for tacking up
also. Free parking of stock trailers is available in the front grassy lot in front of fairgrounds, but equines are not allowed there. A Time Restricted
Barn Pass is necessary for any vehicle in the barn areas to feed or bring in equipment and can be requested in the Show Office.
11. Corral Area Camping: A limited number of dry camping sites exist adjacent to the Barn and Show Entry area for contestants who camp and tack
up from the same trailer and who have special needs to be adjacent to this area. They must be requested using the Equine Housing Reservation
Form at a cost of $150 each and MUST indicate your “special need” along with trailer lengths. Spaces will be assigned by Show Office. Trailers and
vehicles must be parked within the lines. You will be issued a permanent Barn Pass for your vehicle for unrestricted entry into the barn area and for
vehicle parking IN YOUR ASSIGNED SPACE.
12. Upon Arrival: After entering the barn area, an identifying sticker will be placed on your vehicles. Find your assigned stall/corral location (Each
stall/corral is labeled under the name in which it is entered). Bed down your animal in your assigned stall/corral, park vehicle in your assigned
space or in the front grassy area, then check-in at the Show Office. If arriving after office hours, put your animal in your assigned stall/corral, then
park your truck & trailer outside the barn area. In the morning, check in at Show Office. An identifying sticker will be placed on all vehicles
accessing/parked in the barns/stalls area. If you don’t receive a sticker upon arrival, please contact Show Office or Barns & Stalls personnel.
13. Unauthorized Stabling: If there is an animal in your assigned stall/corral, DO NOT turn it out. Report it to the Show Office or the barn entrance
gate.
14. Showing from Off Grounds: If you are showing from off the fairgrounds, there are designated spaces for day parking your trailer that must be
purchased for a one time fee of $30 from the Show Office. The Day Parking Permit does not allow you to set up temporary mobile corrals nor does
it allow your animals to remain overnight. Animals may not be left unattended in trailers.
15. Dogs: No dogs will be permitted on the fairgrounds during the course of MULE DAYS except those under leash control of the owner or kenneled
or otherwise confined within your assigned RV space.
